Creating ChangeMain Street is Unique
Support a “messy vitality” - vital, active and interesting urbanizing environment
Slow down traffic through the corridor
Convenient parking for visitors and customers
Reasonable and safe parking for employees and long-term visits
A clear sense of movement to parking options
Integrated system on and off-street (parking & pedestrians)
Integrating alternative modes (particularly bike for Tigard)
Ensure that parking in district is for users of the district – mitigate park & ride

The Benefits of On-street Parking Management
1. Getting the right people to park in the right place
2. Preserves parking for users of the district (residents, employees, visitors/customers) and reduces/eliminates parking for those who would use the district as a “park & ride.”
3. More efficient use of a limited resource
4. Creates order and certainty – reduces angst
5. Maximizes turnover, where turnover is needed – increased vehicle volume of customers to retail curb space, resulting in increased retail sales.
6. A means to support mode goals for transit, biking and walking (coordinating “capacity” strategically)
7. If there is a plan, it can react, calibrate and adapt to change.
